She served as a diplomatic advisor, until a shift in political tides provoked her escape into piracy. Over the next decade, she crossed every sea, developing a reputation for brutality that preceded her into most conflicts. In the West Indies she fell under the spell of a rumored cache of treasure, and feigned a romantic relationship with one time AssassinVance Travers to gain access to it.

Personality and Characteristics
Jing has proved herself to be Controlling and manipulative as such when she lured Vance to help her under the false pretense of a relationship despite being married, and saying Vance wasn't man enough to kill his brother; however, she has showed that she showed loyalty to her husband in her final words refering to the brothers as fools and her husband being better.
One of Abstergo Intertainment Developers feels she has hints of being a sociopath.
Final words
- Jing: Imagine, the queen of pirates, Jing Lang, defeated for a fake map. I have been arrogant.
- Edward: Really?
- Jing: Yes. I stole the real one. Both halves. My husband has it.
- Edward: Your husband?
- Jing: A better man than these fools.
Trivia
- Jing is the pinyin transliteration of multiple Chinese surnames, the exact surname in this case being unknown. Likewise, Lang is a transliteration of various homophonic Mandarin words. However, the title of her Animi Avatar indicates that her name may perhaps be 蘭 (simplified: 兰) meaning "orchid," though it is properly transliterated as Lán.
